Being shapeless and formless, water flows freely and peacefully. Water allows itself to be controlled by gravity, but we as individuals strive to defy it. On Wednesday July 15, we did just that. Imagine water shooting from the earth beneath two youth participants as they dance in opposition to the motions, becoming foils to the essential liquid. 

Arriving at the RiverScape fountain, I was filled with emotions on the opposite ends of the spectrum: excitement, nervousness, and fear. I was excited to move and dance in the water, but my inexperience with the performing arts invoked some of my fear. Being an athlete and competitor, I felt I had the physical capabilities but not the skill or knowledge of dancing. After three hours of collaboration with our group and Lisa's group, 'The Fountain Dance' proved successful and was a great experience. That day was another example of what collaboration, practice, determination, creativity and fun can accomplish.

To me, your a work of art. Stay tuned for what else Blue Sky has in store. 

Thank you,

Youth Participant Chris Miskell
